but maby they really do just want overseas money spent in Thailand, but then i would have expected a higher proof of funds amount. i think this proof of funds will be a constant requirement
i assume the rules will change and to get an extension or another entry you will need to show another course. a 5 year visa for a 2 week course that can be done on visa exempt just doesnt make sense. but, wait and see!
when i saw someone got the DTV for a 2 week cooking class it made me think it is only a matter of time before it changes. im sure that they will change so they need to rebook a course for each extension or entry.
it started this january and spending on your wise card will count as remitted and taxable assuming you are here 180+ days and above the tax free threshhold. will they catch you or chase you? probably not, but you would be liable as far as i know.
i am in the uk now but will head to europe for 3 months and be back a week before heading to thailand. hopefully can apply now and leave for thailand in 3.5 months. awaiting response from embassy but they have in the past just given generic replies and links with no further info
